The Male Body: A New Look at Men in Public and in Private, Paperback - Susan Bordo

Detalii:

An exciting new popular study of the male body--fresh, honest, and full of revelationsIn this surprising, candid cultural analysis, Susan Bordo begins with a frank, tender look at her own fathers body and goes on to perceptively scrutinize the presentation of maleness in everyday life.Mens (and womens) ideas about mens bodies are heavily influenced by societys expectations, and Bordo helps us understand where those ideas come from. In chapters on the penis (in all its incarnations), fifties Hollywood, male beauty standards, and sexual harassment, and in discussions of topics ranging from Marlon Brando and Boogie Nights to Philip Roth and Lady Chatterleys Lover, Bordo offers fresh and unexpected insights. Always--whether she is examining Michael Jordan or Humbert Humbert, the butch phallus or her own grade-school experiences--she rejects rigid categories in favor of an honest, nuanced version of men as flesh-and-blood human beings.About the Author:Susan Bordo has written and edited several books, including Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body, which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
